103 Meeting III
At the moment, Victor was heading to one of the many rooms in the vampire castle. He could see that this wasn’t by any means the lowest room, which was quite reasonable as the lowest would be those kept for things that needed to be done in secret and all those sort of things. Even though, the place they were heading to was quite large and spacious. Victor was could guess it was the throne room.
When he entered the room with the young tea drinking vampires, he asked where he could find the vampire lord, and by that they seemed to have understood him, and his message was passed across well, so they attacked him. So uncivilized of them to act that way. Of course, he was kind enough not to kill any for the time being, and just knocked them out leaving just one of them standing. He had to rough that one up a bit before he agreed to take him to where the he could find the lord, which was the throne room.
Cassias and the other vampire from before did say that the vampire lord had asked to see him, so he guessed it would be in the throne room after all. What better way to show power and dominance after all?
Victor get there in no time with the young vampire’s guidance. The young vampire did well to open the doors for Victor, and he walked into the room in his own pace. When he entered, he looked around and saw that the entire vampire council seemed to have attended the meeting.
Truth be told, he wasn’t sure what to make of the sight in the enormous room, but if there was anything he had learnt about vampires from earth, it was that they adhered to certain standards. Though he wasn’t sure if it was so in this world too, but with the increasing things he had been getting right about monsters and beast in this world using his previous knowledge, he couldn’t completely write it off. It didn’t matter who made the decision though, his plans wouldn’t change.
Victor just walked until he was standing before the vampire seated on the throne. By the sides of the vampire sitting in the throne, there were two vampires seated to the left and right, respectively. As the throne was positioned on an elevated plane, there was another seat just below the three, positioned in front of the throne where another vampire sat. The two vampires sitting beside the throne and the one in front all looked a bit old if Victor’s eyes didn’t fail him. ‘This is.. weird.’ Victor said in his mind.
After looking around and counting up to about thirty people gathered there to the sides of where Victor stood, he faced the vampire lord on his throne and spoke, while his eyes moved through those beside the vampire lord and the one before the throne.
“I thought vampires were immortal? Why do I see some of you nearing death’s door then?” Victor asked in his usual cold and death tone.
Maybe this question offended the majority of the vampires, but Victor noticed that the atmosphere in the room changed after what he said. ‘Do they really take so much pride in their immortality?’ HE asked himself as he watched the vampires. Then, a voice came from before him, and Victor turned his head towards the one who called his NAME.
“Crow, is that what they call you?” A masculine voice came from the throne, it was the vampire lord, the one who ruled over them. The vampire had a stern face, and none of the feminine features vampires were rumoured to have. He was stocked up physically, and had an almost square face. Looking at him, Victor couldn’t help but see the typical father who would want his children to rule over the world.
Victor simply remained silent and just stared at the vampire lord who was sitting in the throne with both hands placed on the arms. Just as the vampire lord was about to say something else, Victor with his hands still in his pocket turned to face his side and walk towards one of the vampires sitting on a chair and stopped when he reached a few feet away from the vampire.
Victor just stood there without doing anything while staring at the vampire who was seated. After some seconds, and the vampire finally getting as uncomfortable as he could get, he spoke up to asked Victor why he was looking at him that way, but Victor only motioned for him to stand with his hand, and hesitantly the vampire did. The entire thing was a bit unnatural, as no one could really say anything to someone who had just ignored the vampire lord himself. Maybe they were to act a bit different in such a situation, but everyone present knew just how many Victor had killed before getting there, so everybody was careful, a bit more than they would normally be.
Victor took the chair on which the vampire sat and was about to turn around with it when the vampire seating on it prior said something. Victor didn’t really care what was said, all he wanted was for the vampire to say something, and in a split second, Victor sent the vampire flying. No one was able to clearly catch how he did it, they could only follow a blur.
Even then as they couldn’t exactly follow his movements, the vampires were not about to let someone act as he pleased with them before their lord, so this action brought many vampires to their feet, and they looked like they were about to pounce at Victor. Of course they didn’t, and just watched him walk back, while some vampires went towards the one that was sent flying.
Victor after that returned with the chair and sat before the throne and crossed his left leg over the right.
“To invite someone and not even prepare a proper seat for them, kind of rude if you ask me.” Victor said as he crossed his leg.
“I came here to make a request, or.. let’s say, I came to propose a deal.”
